SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA. May 1, 2017. Synergy Resource Capital, an emerging investment and corporate advisory firm is proud to announce it will be a key contributor at the 2017 Latin America Down Under (LADU) conference, taking place in Perth on May 17 and 18.

LADU aims at encouraging broader discussion on the role and impact of Australian and Latin American relations and advances. The conference specially focuses on the mining industry, as many Latin American countries share strong mining cultures and stable investment environments. Since 2012, LADU gathers a mix of explorers, miners, and mining services providers, as well as Australian ambassadors covering more than 15 Latin American countries and Latin American ambassadors promoting opportunities in their homeland.

With an impressive line-up of panelists, including Australian Governor General Peter Cosgrove, Chris Gale -MD of Latin Resources-, Tony Rovira -MD of Azure Minerals-, numerous governmental officials and top mining executives from both regions, LADU will offer diverse perspectives on Latin American and Australian experiences of innovation and sustainability in mining.

Synergy’s Managing Director, Paola Rojas, stated that “supporting a high caliber conference such as LADU 2017 is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our track record of successful experiences, especially with lithium players. We strongly believe in the potential of Latin America and are delighted to be an active player in unlocking its riches.”

Led by its resources sector, Latin America has emerged as a major new engine of the global economy, attracting numerous Australian mining and explorer companies, as well as mining equipment, technology, and services companies. According to S&P Global Market Intelligence, worldwide mining spending in exploration could take up to $21 billion in 2025, a level of investment not seen since 2012, but necessary to sustain the market growth. Australia is leading the way in terms of recovery in mining exploration, with a growing interest in lithium, zinc and graphite, opening renewed opportunities in Latin America, particularly Argentina and Mexico.

Synergy Resource Capital is a corporate advisory firm focused in connecting Latin American resource projects with investors worldwide. The firm relies on its cross-cultural acumen, extensive network of contacts and financial capabilities to assist investors looking to acquire or invest in assets throughout the region as well as companies seeking funding for expansion and growth as well as divestment.
